Re: New Broadband Advertising Rules come in to effect today

I just tried the BT site for curiosity to see how it works. If you select LRS during the 'configure & buy' then it reduces the monthly headline figure by the normal cost of line rental (£18.99 in BT's case) , I assume PN's does something similar...

I guess that would be taken care of when you called in to order, assuming they would even give you a breakdown of prices. Might be worth a dummy run for those whose contract is due soon, you know, just out of curiosity.

That's a good point @HairyMcbiker but if you think about it from a commercial point then as far as the customer is concerned if they are the cheapest provider then the value of the line rental is moot, and of course can be used to encourage users to get both from the same supplier.

All well and good, but I've been banging on about this for years and have even taken plusnet to task about it - all to no avail of course so let's hope they will finally come clean. What a pity that an obvious dishonesty needs legislative arm twisting to put matters to right. Shame on the lot of them, including plusnet.

Now to tackle insurance companies with their outrageous yearly automatic price hikes. For far to long they have used the legal obligation to have car insurance for example in order to mask those appalling prices.

Short and curlies always came to mind when dealing with these corporate robbers.
